Former Wolf Pack star Luke Babbitt slammed home the first dunk of his three-year NBA career last night, and it came in pretty impressive fashion.

The 6-foot-9 forward posterized the Toronto Raptors' Ed Davis, a former North Carolina product who was known for his shot blocking during his college days. Here's Babbitt's dunk.

After the game, Babbitt played off the first dunk of his career while answering a question about his "swagger" after the slam: "I'm out there playing basketball, man," Babbitt told the local media. "I don't know what you're talking about there."

Portland point guard Damian Lillard told RipCityProject.com that he wasn't surprised by Babbitt's relative lack of enthusiasm in regard to his dunk.

"That's how Luke is," Lillard told RipCityProject.com. "Dry. He reminds us of Napoleon Dynamite how dry he is."

Babbitt's dunk highlighted an otherwise poor shooting night.

The ex-Galena High star scored four points and had three rebounds in 21 minutes, hitting just 2-of-9 shots and 0-of-5 from 3-point range. Portland set an NBA record for most 3-point attempts without a make, missing all 20 of its shots from beyond the arc. Still, the Blazers won 92-74.

Babbitt has been getting more playing time of late as Portland has gone to a smaller lineup. In the past five games, Babbitt is averaging 18.2 minutes, 6.2 points and five rebounds per game.

Unbelievable stat.....0 for life from 3 point range and they still win by 18 points. 92-74. Go figure.
